Tip for this race
All today's tips ›Sir Vinny is our selection at Navan, and he looks the right horse to side with despite sitting just two pounds behind Nine Toes Tim on our figures. He gets the nod on his fitness edge, a more solid book of form and a progressive profile that suggests there is still more to come over this 16f on good ground. Nine Toes Tim is the chief danger as the narrowly top-rated runner, while Line Speed, a fair way back on 92, is the other one to consider, and the remaining seven are unrated. Sir Vinny is the pick.

Mr J Dunne (7)
Gordon Elliott 11/59
Won last time out, having pulled up two starts back, so Airforce Marshal is lightly raced and open to improvement. He returns after 195 days off and carries 168 lb, so fitness is the question.

Mr H C Swan

Certain Escape won last time out, though he fell two starts back, and returns after 189 days off carrying 168 lb. He looks unexposed on this limited evidence and open to further improvement, but the long absence is worth noting.

Mr Finian Maguire
Barry Connell 0/4
Elusive Legend is an unraced gelding with no form to go on, so he's an unexposed type who could easily find improvement as he learns his trade. He shoulders 168 lb on debut, and that's the key angle for a horse yet to show anything on a racecourse.

Giomibe is unexposed and lightly raced, with a fall last time out and another two starts back, so he has yet to complete in recent starts. He returns after 209 days off carrying 168 lb, and there should be improvement to come if he stays on his feet.

W. P. Mullins 8/30
Kanzler won last time out, his only recent run, but that came 644 days ago, so this gelding returns after a long absence. Unexposed and open to improvement, he carries 168 lb, and his yard is in good form with 8 winners from 28 in the last 14 days.

Line Speed is without a win in his last four, but a fifth three starts back and another two starts back show he's not far off this level, and our rating has him third of ten at 168 lb. The main risk is a 223-day absence after an eighth last time out.

Nine Toes Tim signed off with a second last time out and has run over today's trip and going before, while our rating of 111 ranks him top of ten. The risk is a 321-day absence, so fitness is the question, and he carries 168 lb.

Noble Indulgence is lightly raced and unexposed, with just one recent outing, an unplaced effort last time out, so there should be more to come. He returns after 200 days off and carries 168 lb, and he is yet to win in recent form.

David Harry Kelly 0/8
Sir Vinny has been placed in each of his last four starts, finishing second last time out, a second two starts back, a second three starts back, and a third four starts back, and he has run over today's trip and going. A 55-day break is the one question, but our rating of 109 backs him as a confident pick.
